30. Which of the following is an example for group price discrimination? A) a BMW selling for more than a VW B) local residents receiving a discount at the local golf course C) the fact that a razor is cheap, and blades are expensive D) the local health club charging a membership fee and a low usage fee 31. Many theme parks charge an entrance fee and a per-ride fee equal to zero. This is an example of A) bundling. B) two-part pricing. C) group price discrimination. D) perfect price discrimination.

Step 1
- Group price discrimination occurs when different groups of consumers are charged different prices for the same product or service. - Option B, "local residents receiving a discount at the local golf course," is an example of group price discrimination because it Show more…

A monopolist produces a good with constant marginal cost equal to ( mathrm{c}, mathrm{c}<1 ). Assume for now that all consumers have the demand ( D(p)=1-p ). The population is of size 1 . a. Suppose that the monopolist cannot discriminate in any way among the consumers and has to charge a uniform price, Pu. Calculate the profit maximising price and the corresponding profit.(10 marks) b. Suppose now that the monopolist can charge a two-part tariff, ( T=A_{T}+P_{T} q ), where ( A_{T} ) is the fixed fee, ( P_{T} ) is the price per unit, and q is the quantity bought. Calculate the profit maximising two-part tariff and the corresponding profit. Compare ( mathrm{P}_{u} ) and ( mathrm{P}_{mathrm{T}} ) and comment.(10 marks) c. Compare the welfare implications of the uniform price under (a) and the two-part tariff under (b).(10 marks) Assume now that there are two types of consumers. Type 1 consumers have demand ( D_{1}(p)=1-p ), and type 2 consumers have demand ( D_{2}(p)=1-p / 2 ). The population is of size 1 and there are equally many consumers of the two types. Finally, assume that ( mathrm{c}=1 / 2 ). d. Calculate the two-part tariff that maximises the profit of the monopolist in this new situation. Compare the two-part tariffs found in parts (b) and (d) for ( c=1 / 2 ) and comment.(10 marks)
